Yeah, okay, while you at the same time increase your booking fees. 

I am doing this completely remotely, which has been a massive pain/lesson learned (topic for another day).I signed a very high-level agreement (i.e. expectations simply say "drywall and paint") with him for drywall and paint work at my home for a total of $10KI have paid $5K as a down payment as well as ~$2K in materials over time, as neededThere have been multiple break-in's in the home, and he has done me favors of working with the police, and boarding things up.

This seems to be true whether it's CA, TX, AZ or OH - IN or GA.Apparently wholesaling isn't as easy as everybody thinks and are willing to pay big bucks to "learn".Obviously the decline has hit the information provider's customer base that they sell information to, and hurt their bottom line.

I have a property manager that is professional that runs everything and takes a 20% profit.totally worth itWhat made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

However, with me moving out I will not be "there" all the time and that is making me wonder how I can manage this property with 5 tenants. 

I would then plan to use this forced equity (since I plan to buy a fixer upper) to invest in another home.I have been constantly reading to househack right into the MFH, but this may take some time for me to acquire the money and purchasing power.

In my initial research, I'm finding a pretty big disconnect with the deals that Michael implies in the book and what is actually out there. 

If your agent wants $5K, are you likely to find another deal like this any time soon? 

I can see this becoming more popular as time goes on.   

I will defiantly be looking into the audible, it will be very beneficial during my down time.
